Description
Hello friends,
I have installed screencat on my local Ubuntu 16.10 system. I have also installed robotjs and electron from the links given in guide. However, when I start it, it shows it has started, but no UI and no idea how to connect to it or show the html page.
This is what I see when I issue npm start
npm start
> screencat@4.2.0 start /usr/local/lib/node_modules/screencat
> electron electron.js
(electron) ipc module is deprecated. Use require("electron").ipcMain instead.
ready
How can I connect to screencat? Thank you.
